Bob Costas on the future of football: 'This game destroys people's brains'

As far as longtime sports broadcaster Bob Costas is concerned, the future of football in the United States is clear — and bleak.

“The reality is that this game destroys people’s brains," he said Tuesday night.

Speaking at a roundtable discussion at the University of Maryland, Costas, who hosted Football Night in America on NBC for more than a decade, said the sport could collapse over time, barring a development in technology to make it reasonably safe. He said the decline of football, which was once “a cash machine,” is the most significant story in American sports.

“The cracks in the foundation are there,” Costas said. “The day-to-day issues, as serious as they may be, they may come and go. But you cannot change the nature of the game. I certainly would not let, if I had an athletically gifted 12- or 13-year-old son, I would not let him play football.”

What?
You’re right. It’s not like players have ever switched from basketball or baseball with little or no experience. What was I thinking?

You know where all the best heavyweights went? They're playing power forward and defensive end, and that happened for a very specific reason.

I always wonder when a player chooses to play in the NFL instead of MLB. So much less contact, contracts are guaranteed and best of all from their perspective (not a fan perspective because that shit sucks in opinion) there is no cap.

Lots of professiOne destroy the bodies of the employees but most of them pay a game check per year and the people work 40 years instead of 10.

Coal miners, iron workers, concrete workers and lots of others don't feel this is earth shattering.

So, you’re using like 3 people in the last decade.

That solves everything.
